The maid squad is too strong, what use is there for me, the Demon King?

Chapter 182 The Attack and the Identity of the Gray-Robed Man

“I am no longer clean…” Philippa’s eyes were vacant as she murmured these words over and over again.

It's normal for girls to stick together, but knowing that the other person is a girl, it's impossible to view Sofia's intimacy in a normal way.

"You're making me quite hurt..." Sofia sighed softly.

She was indeed taking advantage of Philippa, but the situation wasn't that serious. Philippa protected the key areas. It would be going too far to say she was unclean just because of a little physical contact.

Although she didn't think she had done anything wrong, seeing the dazed Philippa, Sofia gently coaxed her, "Okay, okay, I'll touch it back for you, alright?"

This statement drew strong protests from Philippa.

Who wants to touch you?!

Philippa pouted, looking at the grinning Sofia, and said helplessly, "Let's compromise. We can sleep together (although we're already crammed into the same tent, we can still avoid each other if we really don't want to be so close), but you're not allowed to touch me!"

Upon hearing this, Sophia immediately replied seriously, "No problem."

Since we can't gain any more advantage by continuing to make trouble, we should take a step back for now, try to gain as much as possible, and then find an opportunity to "hide our strength and bide our time, waiting for the opportune moment."

Philippa lay back down, and Sofia followed suit.

Philippa stared intently at Sofia, crossing her arms to protect herself in case Sofia suddenly attacked.

Fortunately, Sofia didn't do anything else, which relieved Philippa.

Little did Sofia know that this was enough for today. She had originally planned to gradually infect Philippa into the shape of a demon.

Urgency and non-urgency matters cannot be dealt with in a short time; let us proceed slowly.

Unfortunately, her good mood didn't last long. Before she could even get comfortable in bed, Philippa suddenly woke up with a start.

"Something's coming..." In response to Sophia's question, Philippa simply said this, quickly put on her light armor, and grabbed her weapon.

Seeing Philippa's serious demeanor, Sofia realized that Philippa wasn't teasing her, so she quickly straightened her clothes (smoothing out the wrinkles from the process) and picked up her staff.

"Attack by unidentified individuals!"

The two women had just left the tent when they heard Taric shouting loudly.

The two women exchanged a glance and immediately stepped forward to check their surroundings.

It was a group of grey-robed men, and Taric and the other guards on night watch were already fighting them.

Seeing this, the two women quickly stepped forward to help.

The entire caravan was awakened by the alarm, and the guards were gradually arriving.

This outfit...

Philippa frowned slightly.

It's the Demonic Order again...

These cult members are truly persistent.

Before I could even cause them any trouble, they came after me instead.

Observing the situation, it was found that the outlook was not optimistic.

These gray-robed figures all exuded the aura of third-tier magic, and many of them were fourth-tier professionals. This was undoubtedly a devastating blow to the guards, who had few first-tier professionals. In just one encounter, countless guards were killed or wounded, and the stench of blood filled the air.

only……

In Philippa's memory, most of the members of the Demon Cult were just first or second-tier magic users, at most they could be used to gang up on slightly higher-level professionals, but they were no longer effective against slightly higher-level professionals, and it was impossible to rely on them to kill until their hands were sore and they were exhausted.

These gray-robed figures before them were far from being cannon fodder; their third-tier magic power was already considered elite among ordinary cultists.

Those at the fourth rank or above can become priests, enjoying greater power and status, and touching upon more core matters of the order.

Why would the Demon Order send such a small force to attack a medium-sized caravan?

Seeing that the situation was not good, Sophia waved her staff, and a beam of light quickly emanated from the crystal on the staff, directly hitting the arm of a fourth-tier gray-robed man.

"Huh?" What surprised the two women was not that the attack had not caused any damage, but that its effect was too significant.

The gray-robed man who was hit by the beam of light screamed and quickly retreated.

The arm that was hit by the beam of light is gone, leaving behind burn-like marks.

Instantly, all the gray-robed men turned their gazes to Sophia, their eyes filled with vigilance and killing intent.

Philippa was very puzzled. Light magic did have a restraining effect on cultists, but this restraining effect was far less powerful than this.

The gray-robed man who was hit by the beam screamed in obvious terror, and all the gray-robed men showed fear of the beam. They completely regarded Sophia as the biggest threat, and Sophia would definitely be targeted by the gray-robed men next.

The gray-robed people straightened their formation and screamed again. A black bat with a hint of blood emerged from the darkness and swooped down on Sophia.

At the same time, Sophia noticed that the gray-robed man who had been hit by the beam of light had an arm that was perfectly intact where it should have been.

Upon seeing this, Sophia instantly understood the identity of the gray-robed man; this was information that only she, as a saintess of the Holy Light Church, could frequently access.

"Vampires! These grey-robed men are vampires!" Sophia shouted, relaying the information while, with Philippa's help, clearing away the attacking blood-red bats.

Vampire, that's what humans call this kind of creature, while vampires themselves call themselves—the Blood Clan.

Vampires are creatures that feed on blood, with a particular fondness for human blood, which is why they primarily target humans.

Vampires are creatures that walk the night and have a lifespan that is not as long as that of elves but far longer than that of humans.

Vampires are afraid of sunlight, and light-attribute magic can also cause them great harm.

Furthermore, the purer a vampire's bloodline, the more afraid they are of sunlight and light-attribute magic. A vampire with completely pure blood cannot walk in the sunlight.

Let alone a vampire, even the purest vampire would be turned to ash by the sunlight.

Delta, the blonde, mature vampire, is the purest vampire. However, after becoming Gray's familia, she gained some demonic characteristics, which prevented her from dying in the light, but she still extremely hated sunlight.

vampire?

Philippa and Taric had naturally heard of this creature, but their knowledge of vampires was limited to legends.

Vampires are already an extremely endangered species, in a situation even more dire than the demon race, which is now in a state of decline, but still much better off than the dragon race, of which only one remains on the entire continent.

Bai Lin (blushing): So, for the sake of the continuation of our race, Lord Shadow, you should just give in to me...

Today, I am fortunate to see a vampire, but in such a setting.

Philippa raised her light sword.

"It's okay, I can fight!"
